Volume One, Chapter 52: I Know, Shengsheng Likes Me

Wen Zhi snapped back to reality and immediately ran back to her room, leaning against the door, gasping for breath. Her heart pounded so fiercely it felt like it was about to burst through her throat, uncontrollably racing. She took several deep breaths but could not calm her emotions. Thinking of Shen Nianchi’s words, thinking of how he said he liked her, Wen Zhi found it all so unbelievable. A test? Was that really a test? But she hadn’t even done anything yet!

Seeing this, Teng Shui also immediately drew his long sword and charged at Chen Xuan, his figure seemingly multiplying into countless afterimages. Listening to their words, Chu Yun found it quite amusing—he never expected the day would come when people would talk about him like that.

Xue Yan, through the “Chains of Bondage,” already knew that Chu Yun was aware of the Heaven faction’s plan to seize her. After dodging one attack, Ma Mengyao’s feet barely touched the ground before La Bu turned around and caught up with her, swinging his arm in a strike. With a crisp “smack,” Ma Mengyao was sent flying over thirty feet, crashing heavily to the ground.

Therefore, Mu Feiliu’s surprise was understandable, though this unfolding scene was exactly what he hoped to see. After all, such a situation favored him. Though moments before he thought Third Senior Brother’s actions were impulsive, now he hoped that Third Senior Brother would be safe, and these feelings did not contradict each other.

Zhou Hao sat there calmly, and while Liu Mengyi was distracted, his hand rested on the huge doll belonging to Liu Mengyi. Six powerful warriors of the Demon Soul Clan sensed danger; their eyes widened as the temperature plummeted, chilling them to the bone. The cold penetrated deeply, causing them to shiver uncontrollably, and despite desperately circulating their cultivation techniques, they could not resist the chill.

Frowning, he snapped his fingers, summoning a luminous screen that enveloped the secret realm. He attempted to trace the residual energy in the area to deduce where the black cat had gone. Seeing someone approach, the shadow hesitated, still weighing the right moment to strike. When Han Miao had covered half the distance, the shadow suddenly vanished and moved.

As soon as Li Miaomiao entered, her body stiffened. Her eyes immediately caught sight of Li Mingyu sitting on the sofa in an unnatural posture. Masakari Yo looked at Sasha lying in Lisa’s arms, peacefully sleeping with her eyes closed, unlike herself the previous night—sleeping fitfully, crying intermittently, nearly driving herself to madness.

“I admire you, Wu Rushi,” Mo Tian said, stepping back as his form flickered, vanishing from Wu Rushi’s sight. Qin Wang first listened impatiently to Elu’s words; his expression shifted from anger to calm, then gradually to a look of sudden understanding. After Elu finished speaking, he anxiously awaited Qin Wang’s response, but Qin Wang closed his eyes and remained silent.

After all, with the same rice and flour and ingredients, the food Mo Qian prepared always tasted better than others’, even surpassing the head chefs at the restaurants. Moreover, he often managed to create new and fresh flavors—a conclusion drawn by Chou Cheng and the others.

Li Mu composed himself and began to gather his true qi. Having experience refining the true qi from the shark pearl, even without Gu Shuanghua’s help to slice the qi, Li Mu was very skilled at collecting and refining it.

Awakening, Shifeng looked at Misaka beside her and then at the alarm clock she was holding down. Still drowsy from just waking up, she felt confused seeing Misaka suddenly appear before her.

This time, Rushi knew he had killed to purge the demonic energy. He was angry that Rushi did not understand how to protect himself, failing to use safer methods and instead resorting to reckless measures. He also pitied Rushi for having killed so many, bearing such heavy sins and burdens—how could she live freely?

He flipped directly to the comment section and found that the top comments with the most likes appeared neutral but were actually filled with praise.
